Trouble sticking to preop diet
After surgery u will regret cheating the diet so that's why they make u go threw this before u have to be strong and choose ur life over food.... it's just food it's not going anywhere and one day u may be able to have it again but u didn't go threw all the pre op crap to let sweets ruin it... stay strong

Getting annoyed..
I had this issue December I weighed my highest 340 and before surgery got to 308 I was told horrible things and had a lot of people state I didn't need it i just stopped feeding into the crap at the end of the day it's ur body and u do what's best for u and ur body the surgery has saved my life I'm now 280 sleeve April 2nd .... u will always have somebody who disapproves I know if I would of listened to others I'd be right back to 340 people fail to realize it's a tool not a instant fix ....

How did you feel in recovery
U won't feel like u have been hit I will state however right when they move u to ur room they expect you to walk as much as possible u will feel lots of pressure in ur tummy after the numbing goes away... I threw up a few time... but after they get u settled in ur out for a few hours and u have ur pain button so not really to much pain I noticed only when they made me walk I barfed.... only issue I've had.. just remember walk walk walk walk gas pains hurt so do the burps but it gets the pressure out and good luck to you
